[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings are increasing. Guardrails, as an important part of these facilities, are widely used. However, during daily use, guardrails are affected by dust in the air, vehicle exhaust, and other factors, and their surfaces will accumulate dust and other pollutants. If they are not cleaned in time, it will directly affect the overall image of the city and even traffic safety.
[0003] Traditional cleaning methods involve manual cleaning of roadside guardrails using large high-pressure water guns. This simple cleaning cannot remove dirt and impurities from the guardrails, making manual guardrail cleaning inefficient, labor-intensive, and potentially posing safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this application is to provide a smart guardrail detection and cleaning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology, such as poor effect, low efficiency and high labor intensity of manual guardrail cleaning.
[0005] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0022] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0024] Example, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The intelligent guardrail detection and cleaning device includes a vehicle body 1, which has an area for the guardrail to pass through. The vehicle body 1 straddles the guardrail, and cleaning components are installed inside the vehicle body 1 and on both sides of the guardrail.
[0025] Specifically, the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning water tank 2, a water pump 3, and cleaning rollers 4 with fuzz. The cleaning water tank 2 is installed inside the vehicle body 1. The inlet of the water pump 3 is connected to the cleaning water tank 2, and the outlet of the water pump 3 is connected to a water pipe. A nozzle assembly 26 is connected to the water pipe. Multiple cleaning rollers 4 are arranged vertically. A first buffer plate 5 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the cleaning roller 4, and a second buffer plate 6 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the cleaning roller 4. A rotating shaft 7 is connected to the other end of the first buffer plate 5 and the other end of the second buffer plate 6. A bearing seat 8 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 7 and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 1. A rotating device is provided on the rotating shaft 7 and the cleaning rollers 4. In use, the cleaning machine is straddled on the guardrail. The cleaning water tank 2 contains a mixture of cleaning agent and water. The water is pumped out by the water pump 3, and the nozzle assembly 26 sprays out the cleaning liquid. The nozzle assembly 26 adopts a multi-point spraying design to ensure that the cleaning agent foam can evenly and fully cover every corner of the guardrail. When the foam comes into contact with the railing surface, the cleaning agent in it begins to rapidly decompose and soften dirt, grease, and other impurities. The spray angle and intensity of the shower head can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to railings of different shapes and materials. Then, the rotating device is activated, driving the cleaning rollers 4 to rotate at high speed. The cleaning rollers 4, located on both sides of the railing, can clean the railing simultaneously from both sides. The dirt, decomposed and softened by the cleaning liquid, is easily cleaned by the friction of the brushed cleaning rollers 4, greatly improving cleaning efficiency and enhancing the cleaning effect of the railing.
[0026] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the rotating device includes a rotating motor 9 and a large pulley 10 fixedly installed at one end of the cleaning roller 4. The output end of the rotating motor 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 7. A small pulley 11 is fixedly installed on the output end of the rotating motor 9. A belt 12 is fitted onto the small pulley 11 and the large pulley 10. After the rotating motor 9 is started, the rotating motor 9 drives the small pulley 11 to rotate, the small pulley 11 drives the belt 12 to rotate, the belt 12 drives the large pulley 10 to rotate, and the large pulley 10 drives the cleaning roller 4 to rotate, thereby cleaning the guardrail.
[0027] In embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4A fixed plate 13 is fixedly installed between the first buffer plate 5 and the second buffer plate 6. A buffer device is provided between one side of the fixed plate 13 and the vehicle body 1. The buffer device includes a first buffer bracket 14, which is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 13. A buffer rod 15 is rotatably connected to the first buffer bracket 14, and a second buffer bracket 16 is rotatably connected to the other end of the buffer rod 15. The second buffer bracket 16 is fixedly installed on the vehicle body 1. A buffer spring 17 is sleeved on the outside of the buffer rod 15. Both the first buffer plate 5 and the second buffer plate 6 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 7. When the guardrail enters the cleaning and inspection machine, the buffer plate will swing slightly along the rotating shaft 7 under the push of the guardrail. This swinging process absorbs and disperses the impact force through the elastic deformation of the buffer device, thereby avoiding direct hard collision between the guardrail and the machine, protecting the guardrail and the machine itself from damage. The swinging of the buffer plate also allows the guardrail to make certain adjustments during entry and exit, ensuring that the guardrail can pass through the cleaning and inspection area at the optimal angle and position, improving the cleaning effect and inspection accuracy.
[0028] Specifically, the buffer rod 15 has a telescopic function, and is preferably a hydraulic telescopic rod.
[0029] In embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 An inspection chamber 18 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the vehicle body 1. The inspection chamber 18 has an area for the guardrail to pass through. Multiple cameras 19 are installed inside the inspection chamber 18, and the cameras 19 are communicatively connected to a processor. The cameras 19 capture images of the guardrail surface to detect damage, deformation, or post-cleaning conditions of the guardrail, providing support for subsequent maintenance and repair.
[0030] In the embodiments of this disclosure, a dryer 20 is fixedly installed inside the detection chamber 18. The dryer 20 can quickly remove residual moisture from the cleaned guardrail surface, keeping it dry. The dried guardrail surface is clearer and easier to observe, making it easier for the camera 19 to identify damaged and deformed locations. The dry surface is also more conducive to subsequent maintenance and repair work, while avoiding secondary pollution or corrosion caused by residual moisture.
[0031] In embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 6The vehicle body 1 is equipped with a drive unit. Installation areas are located on both sides of the bottom of the vehicle body 1, and the drive unit is installed within these areas. The drive unit includes a drive motor 21, which is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body 1. A drive shaft 22 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 21. A pair of drive bases 23 are rotatably connected to the drive shaft 22, and the drive bases 23 are fixedly mounted on the vehicle body 1. A drive wheel 24 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 22, located between the pair of drive bases 23. Drive units are located at all four corners of the bottom of the vehicle body 1. The drive motor 21 drives the drive shaft 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive wheel 24 to rotate, thereby propelling the machine along the laying direction of the guardrail.
[0032] In embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 5 A solar panel 25 is mounted on the upper surface of the vehicle body 1. The solar panel 25 can charge the battery when the machine is working, thereby increasing the machine's working time. Specifically, the battery is not shown in the accompanying drawings; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand that the electrical components in this application, such as all the rotating motors 9, all the water pumps 3, all the drive motors 21, the camera 19, etc., are all connected to the battery.
[0033] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
